Japanese White Oak Bo Staff Description
A fantastic looking staff for training with, in your chosen martial art. These Japanese White Oak Bo Staff are a beautiful weapon and so versatile. Made from White Oak wood and the same thickness for the entire length of the staff. They are popular with many of the Japanese Martial Arts including Karate and Ninjutsu, but also the Southern Kung Fu Styles like Hung Kuen and Lau Gar.
A lot of people will claim White Oak is lighter, or stronger, or heavier or allows better qi flow, but personally at Enso we find they are the same strength, weight, usability as the Red Oak Bo Staffs but just much prettier. However, if you do want a lighter staff just call us and we'll pick one out for you. They are a perfect alternative to the standard Red Oak Bo Staff, not only do they have a beautiful grain in them but they also stand out in a sea of Red Oak Bo Staffs. Perfect for not getting 'accidentally' pinched at the end of a class or seminar.
These are a really tough weapon and will stand up to some abuse, but don’t forget it is wood. Wood can break so a real thumping could end up with a broken stick. Look after your staff and it will last you for years.
Made in the standard Bo Staff length of 6ft / 72 inches / 183cm with a 32mm diameter (sizes may vary slightly) You can also buy the Bo Staff Case to store and carry it in.
